| Services | Other security providers | |
|---|---|---|
Digital Sovereignty | As a German company, we are subject to strict German data protection laws. Your data remains in Germany and is protected from unauthorized access—including by governments. | Service providers may be subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Laws such as the U.S. CLOUD Act may then allow U.S. authorities to request access to data—even if that data is stored in European data centers. |
Compliance | Solutions are developed within the German legal framework and are easily aligned with EU requirements such as the GDPR, NIS 2, and DORA. | Providers outside the EU can support EU compliance, but they often have to ensure it through additional contractual arrangements, hosting structures, or organizational measures. |
Quality of Service | German-speaking experts at our headquarters in Bochum are here to help you—and they’ll take as much time as you need. | Anonymous call centers in English with tight time frames. |
Recommendations for Action | Clear and practical recommendations in German. | Reports and analyses are often standardized and written in English. |
Expertise | XDR software and services from a single source, thanks to in-house development in Bochum. | Purchased software carries the risk that analysts will misinterpret reports. |
Data minimization | As a German company, we only access data in cases where there is reasonable suspicion—and only as much as is absolutely necessary. | Frequent extensive data collection, as the company is based in countries without data minimization requirements. |
